Wes Lang – Standing on the moon, 2013 – Archival Print
Accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist.
Standing on the Moon by Wes Lang is a 2013 limited-edition archival print that fuses text, sketches, and symbolic imagery in a collage-like composition. The artwork features repeated motifs of skulls, Native American headdresses, skeletons, and handwritten notes that explore themes of mortality, spirituality, and American identity. Lang incorporates quotes, references to Walt Whitman, and phrases like A Procession of Blue Skies, weaving together a narrative that is both introspective and reflective on cultural heritage. The loose, sketchy style gives the piece a raw, unfiltered quality, echoing themes of impermanence and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. This complex visual tapestry invites viewers to interpret its symbols and phrases within their own understanding of life and death.

What is pop-art?
Artwork by Andy Warhol

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
